Why it matters
Coding agents are moving from autocomplete to doing whole tasks: reading a codebase, making a plan and changing many files. This case is a concrete example of where that works in practice. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Software Development on Agent Sightings (number 35 by interest), and one of 164 involving Claude Code.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude Code or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Here is a raw voice-memo transcript and links to related code. Explore the repo for existing patterns, draft a short PRD, then write PLAN.md with files to touch. Do not implement yet.
The prompt breaks down into 3 steps you can check as the agent works:
- Here is a raw voice-memo transcript and links to related code.
- Explore the repo for existing patterns, draft a short PRD, then write PLAN.md with files to touch.
- Do not implement yet.
Tip: Work on a fresh branch, ask for a plan before edits, and review the diff and test results before merging.
